Cheap flights from London to Split

October is the cheapest month for this route, and it is also when the crowds thin out and the coast settles into autumn. Prices climb through the summer school holidays and stay high into early September, then drop away through autumn and winter. Spring is quiet, green and good for walking; high summer is the busiest and the most expensive. If your dates are open, aim for midweek departures and avoid the peak weeks around the summer break and the Christmas and New Year rush, when seats on this route go quickly. Book a few weeks ahead in the shoulder months, and further ahead for July and August.

Low-cost carriers do most of the flying here: Wizz Air UK, Wizz Air, Easyjet, Ryanair, Vueling Airlines and Norwegian all sell seats on this route, and their fares cover the flight and little else, so bags and seat choice cost extra. TUI Airways is the leisure option, often sold with a hotel. For a full-service ticket, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and KLM Cityhopper sell connections through their hub, and Air Serbia does the same on its own network; those fares usually include a checked bag, but they are not nonstop, so leave room for the transfer.

Split airport is the only airport serving the city, and it sits outside town, a short drive from the centre and the ferry port. A shuttle bus meets arrivals and runs to the bus station by the harbour; taxis and pre-booked transfers take you door to door, and car hire desks are in the terminal if you plan to explore the coast and the islands. In summer the roads into Split and the bus timetables get busy, so allow extra time on arrival and departure days, and check the last shuttle before you book a late flight.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your fare leaves from, because Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City are not interchangeable.
• On a low-cost ticket, add the cabin bag and checked luggage you actually need before you compare totals.
• If the itinerary involves a change of plane, make sure both legs sit on one ticket so a delay does not leave you stranded.
• Carry a valid passport for Croatia and check the entry rules for your nationality before you book.
• Book early for July and August, and look at October if your dates are open.
